Saving scripts

Adobe will stop the Adobe Story CC service on January 22, 2019. Adobe Story CC, Adobe Story CC (Classic), and Adobe Story CC desktop application will be discontinued. See End of service FAQ for more information.

When you save a script, the script is stored on the Adobe
Story server. You can also save your script to your computer.

To ensure security for your scripts, Adobe uses industry-leading
security engineering practices and processes in building its products.
Multiple layers of physical security protect the Adobe Story hosting
facilities—only authorized personnel have access to the facilities
and servers.

Save scripts

Do one of the following:

Select File > Save.

Information about when the document was last saved is displayed
in the bottom panel of the Authoring view. To save the document,
click Save Now. The status changes to Document Saved.

If you
have enabled auto-save, the status changes every time the document
is auto-saved.

Save scripts to computer

You can back up your documents in Adobe Story by saving
them on your computer. The document is saved in the STDOC format.
When you import an STDOC file into Adobe Story, the formatting of
the document is retained.

Note:

If you plan to use the file for integration with Premiere
Pro and OnLocation, export it in the ASTX format.

Select File > Save To Disk.

Select a location on your computer to save the file.

Export scripts in supported formats

You can export film scripts in the following formats:

Adobe Story Interchange Format (.astx)

Adobe PDF (.pdf)

Text document (.txt)

Microsoft Excel-compatible CSV (.csv)

Final Draft 8 (.fdx)

Movie Magic Scheduling format

Auto save scripts

A document open in Adobe Story is automatically saved when
the Adobe Story application is idle for more than 30 seconds.

The auto save preferences take effect when the application is
not idle- when you are working on a document in Adobe Story. For
example, if the auto save time interval is 120 seconds, the document
is saved automatically at 120 second time intervals when you are
working on it.

Click Preferences.

In the Preferences dialog, do one of the following:

Select On to enable auto save. The document is saved at the
specified time interval even if you forget to save the document
in this period.

Select Off to disable auto save. Use this option if you do
not want Adobe Story to automatically save the document when you
are working on it.

If you want to change the default time interval for auto
save, enter the specified value in the Default Time Interval (In
Sec) field. Specify a minimum value of 60 seconds.
